Sgnerf - Thanks for the mod guide! Looking at the internals of the Longshot, it may be safe to say that a similar mod can be done to it? I love taggers, they fly a decent distance and are fairly accurate, but they get very icky after a while (dust). The new Sonics are almost as good, they don't blow up in my brother's gas home made like the old one. As fun as Streamlines are, you can't hit the blind side of a barn with it even with laser sights. tongue.gif

Suddenly... dragged into this. ^^

A little bit of Physics. Every dart is different, and because there are differences, there will exist one dart more accurate than others, and one dart that can not hit anything. Taggers are the most accurate (not sure about Black Tip Sonic, they are almost as good i think so) and then Streamlines are the darts that can not hit anything.

Streamlines are terrible for accuracy, but good for extra range. My brother puts them in a Rapid Fire so that when you spray it flies all over the place.

Micro Darts are so so, but stable since they're heavy.

Sonic Dart (Orange Tip) is pretty alright, but after about 20-30 shots with each dart, they start getting soft and disintegrate slowly.

Sonic Dart (Black Tip) Very Good. Heavier than the Orange Tip which makes them stable, but they don't whistle like the old Orange Tip.

Taggers are the best stock darts. Good range, good accuracy, but they get icky after a while.

Stefans are the absolute best darts. Customizeable for every occasion. Want range? Got it, reduce weight of the tip. Need a bit more accuracy? Cut the foam a little and add an extra BB on the tip. Want drunk darts? Cut fins on the foam. Or if you've got a bit of money you can buy those really tiny watch batteries, stick them into the tip of your Stefan, and add an LED into the body of the dart.



Seriously, this is common knowledge if you live with someone who collects nerf for years. wink.gif

Darts don't average out to have the same level of accuracy, Taggers and (Orange Foam, Black Tip, whatever) Sonics are the best general purpose darts (Taggers being noticably better until someone can confirm otherwise), Streamlines have the longest range but have bad accuracy. Micros are very average.

Stefans are in a different league entirely.

My brother says this is about right, I dunno, he's fired more nerfs than I have. laugh.gif


Added on April 28, 2009, 2:45 pmAfoxi - why are you arguing against Streamlines? I thought you mentioned a few pages ago that you liked them?

have you any idea how is it tested? the variables, the condition(range, force exerted, flight speed, even luck)? seriously the darts were not design for accuracy in the 1st place. please direct your attention to the bolded statement below and answer it.

also direct you attention to this sheet: http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/nerf-ammo-chart.pdf

note where it's from. last i checked awesome>super. if the creator claims otherwise, where lies the fact then?  rolleyes.gif . heck, i won't even believe hasbro's claim. i'm sorry you don't have your own opinion though.

So if TM Net advertises high speed broadband, does that mean i will get high speed broadband?

In perfect conditions, yes. In normal cases, no. Manufacturers will always boast their products in perfect conditions. Also I'm pretty sure I've fired a lot more of those darts in my Maverick/Magstrike than Hasbro claims.


Stop being so naive, you're going into denial here.


And to the person saying brand new streamlines are accurate, put it this way - are you going to buy new streamlines for every 30 times you fire them?

I'm sorry, your "chart" is an outright lie.

Hi sis,
Sorry for the month delay, I had to actually go into town to get extra darts for this test since we all use stephans up here in Dandenong. I have decided to use a brand new Maverick for your request, so i got one as well.



For this test, I'm basically shooting at a NERF Tech-target.

The maverick is not modded, but has been broken in by firing it 120 times (should be more than enough right?) prior to the test.

A hit is a hit, and as long as the number on the tech-target moves, that's good enough to count as a "hit" to me.

I start at 2 meters, and I fire each type of dart 90 times before increasing the distance by one meter. (the chart is off by 1 meter by the way)

The darts are "test fired" so that they hit (as center as possible), and then the maverick is clamped to the side of a wall with two G-Clamps so that it is immovable, even while reloading.

I am also firing these darts in the dorm's ball, which is a large empty space, and most importantly there is no outside wind to skew results.

Results are rounded up to the nearest integer percentage.



As you can see, I spent 3 hours proving what is common knowledge. Taggers hit consistently, Micros just suck (although consistent), and Streamlines can't hit the blind side of a barn. I even recorded a 2 misses at 3 meters!

Let me know if you need anymore tests, and I'll probably record a video if i can borrow a camera.




Zeroglyph is essentially talking rubbish.

Afoxisko doesn't have any right to say anything either. If you are indeed that "Malay dude walking around with the Vulcan", then let me remind you that you lost first place by using Streamlines in your so called "Recon Tagger" and shooting the hostage in the side of the head. To your credit, at least you used the ballistic sights instead of attaching a scope and looking like a wannabe.

i direct your attention to the area within the red square.

checking at what i was arguing about, that was the whole point of my chart. shots within the minimal effective range. i'd say my chart isn't that far off. so my rubbish talk actually has validity in it.

streamline misses at 3 meters?  something seems wrong, 3 meters is just too short a range for a miss.

i must thank you though for providing a proper argument instead of just talks(although the test results is from someone else). i'd give you some respect if you were a tad polite, but i guess not.

We believe your attempts at bullshitting and saving face, oh "mister streamlines are the most accurate darts".

We don't have to. Next time any of us mentions that "Streamlines are innacurate", we'll just watch you charging blindly into the argument like the White Knight you are, screaming otherwise.


In other news, I just bought 10 secret strikes.
